About This Course

Empower yourself with effective strategies for addressing challenging behaviour in young people aged 10 years and above with our comprehensive training programme.

In this engaging 60 minute live online module, we redefine what constitutes ‘challenging’ behaviours and explore the importance of authentic connections in building rapport with young people.

Participants will learn to clarify desired behaviours early on, create nurturing environments that foster growth and resilience, and navigate mistakes with a focus on healing and growth rather than punishment.

By prioritising strengths-based strategies and fostering positive interactions, professionals will gain the tools to cultivate cultures that prioritise the wellbeing and success of our youth.

Key Takeaways

Module 1: Establishing a Framework for Positive Engagement

Upon completion of this module, participants will be able to:

  • Redefine challenging behaviours and adopt strengths-based approaches to addressing them.
  • Build authentic connections with young people to foster trust and rapport.
  • Clarify desired behaviours early on and implement strategies for promoting positive behaviour.
  • Create nurturing environments that prioritise the wellbeing and growth of young people.
  • Implement processes for healing mistakes and negotiating consequences.

People Who Have Taken Our Course

Read What Our Participants Have to Say About Their Experiences With Our Course
Maree, OSCAR
Although it was aimed more at Rangatahi, I got a lot of great information for implementing strategies with our Tamariki. We have one young lad who attends our After School Program who challenges everyone and I feel better equipped to manage him now. Thank you Rod & Donna.
Mihinui, OSCAR
Very easy to follow. Awesome tips for working with older children and to help connect with them. I learnt strategies to improve relationships with the children we work with and how to communicate better.
Jess, Teacher
Loved the real-life stories Rod shared. I resonated with these ideas and techniques and felt inspired to strengthen relationships in my class.
Evan, Relief Teacher
Clear, concise message. The age old: address the behaviour as coming from the student and focus on the underlying reasons for that behaviour.
Charlotte, Programme Lead
It was informative with good examples that were easy to relate and understand.
Christina, Programme Team Member
Rod was very easy to listen to and follow. The presentation was of perfect length. Listening to his experiences and the way he responded to the behaviour in various situations was both interesting and insightful!
